After hearing good stories about truffle therapy, I had the opportunity to experience it myself about four weeks ago. And since then, I honestly don't know if I did the right thing, because I feel strange; it seems like I am constantly under a certain tension/anxiety. I did it because I wanted to get closer to my feelings, as I haven't felt any emotions inside for a number of years. Although the session itself was a special experience and not an unpleasant one. At first, I found it really scary, but I surrendered afterwards and witnessed a beautiful ballet of colors. However, when I sobered up, it seemed as if I was in a kind of shock, and since then I have noticed that I am not myself at all anymore. At the moment, it seems to be having the opposite effect on me, which is of course not what I hope. Or perhaps I just need to go through the unpleasant experiences first to arrive at something beautiful.
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going smoothly. I think you have to go through the negative emotions first before it gets better.
Sometimes things surface that still require some work. Then it sometimes becomes easier to work on, and sometimes the way you feel does too. But the message is to do something about it.
I would like to do something about it too, but I'm not quite sure what anymore. I already practice mindfulness regularly, for example, and have tried various therapies in the past, but nothing seems to work, or very occasionally there is a brief effect. Sometimes I feel like a statue and numb. Somewhere deep down, I have known for a long time that something isn't right.
